Boston University DeWolfe Boathouse is the home of Boston University women’s and men’s rowing crews, and of their boats. On the final day of the Head of the Charles Regatta 2016, October 23, the boathouse wakes up in the early morning with new excitement, energy and activities. The boathouse is located at the official starting line of the regatta. Many teams warm up in the boathouse and prepare their boats before launching them into the water in front of the pier.
